Meghan Markle is reportedly feeling anxious about a potential return to the United Kingdom, with sources revealing the Duchess of Sussex is concerned about how the media will react.
According to Radar Online, Meghan’s primary worry is not about logistics or protocol but the intense scrutiny and negativity she expects from the UK press. A source explained, “Her biggest worry is the sheer volume of press attention and negativity she expects. She feels the UK media climate toward her has only hardened.”
Another insider highlighted that Meghan’s approval ratings in the UK remain low, with a majority of the public reportedly still opposed to her. “She is acutely aware that large sections of the British press remain openly hostile, and that level of animosity would inevitably make any return difficult and uncomfortable,” the source added.
Concerns about security and online harassment have also weighed heavily on the Duchess, with a separate source telling The Daily Express, “Meghan has issues about security and serious concerns about some really nasty trolls.”
Meghan and Prince Harry left the Royal Family in 2020, citing systemic issues and racial bias regarding their son, Prince Archie. The couple now reside in California, where they welcomed their daughter, Princess Lilibet, and continue to manage public scrutiny through interviews and media appearances. Any future UK visit, insiders suggest, will be carefully considered given the hostile media climate and the Duchess’s concerns for personal safety.
